PSYCHODRAMAAbstract
The educational bias which places high priority on linear learning and low priority on behavior/attitude learning encumbers the training of most mental health professionals. Traditional education has long prized linear learning-the written or spoken word-and the reasons are logical. Results are measurable and words are part of our daily life. We read a book and go from line to line. We think in linear patterns as the mind rhythmically abstracts concrete objects, catalogues them, and stores them as pieces of information. The learning of behavior and attitude has been deposed by an ever increasing body of professional knowledge. It is as though the price
of attaining a professional role is at the expense rather than with the help of behavior and attitude learning.
